Michigan Monday and Tuesday: Quick Look At Air Force and Injury News

Sorry for the delay all, I live in Florida now and lost power when Irma came through.   Power is still out and right now I'm at Panera fighting for bandwidth with everyone in Florida.  :)


Michigan this Saturday hosts the very scary Air Force Academy.   Air Force runs the triple option which is something the Michigan defense sees once every 5 years or so.  If you watched the Labor Day night game when Tennessee played Georgia Tech, you know how hard it can be to defend this type of offense.


Last Week:  Bye Week, Week 1 they beat VMI 62-0
Stats:
Rushing: 473
Pass: 190
Total: 663 yards (Wow!)
Yards allowed: 95
TV: BTN
Kick: Noon
Line:  Michigan -24


This is a good football team that Michigan will have to play well against.  The team that showed up to play UC might be in trouble, if they don't clean up a few things.  This game will test Don Brown and the young Michigan defense.   The Michigan offense should score a few points,  if they hold on to the ball during hand offs and don't throw pick 6's.


Still its a very unique offense and one that can gain a ton of yards if haven't prepared properly.


  • Donovan Jeter is out for the year and just had surgery.  He will for sure redshirt now


  • Oliver Martin and Kareem Walker are a bit banged up and didn't dress for Cincinnati.   Jimmy does not like talking about players who don't dress!


  • Sounds like DPJ will be back on punt returns, Jimmy said he watched the tape and some of the issues were not DPJ's.   


  • Tyree Kinnel was the defensive player of the game for the Wolverines last week.   He is really playing well!  He had 2 sacks, interception for a TD and 7 total tackles.


  • Lastly I agree with the point Brian at Mgoblog made about Wilton.  His issues are fixable like using two hands on hand offs and throwing mechanics when he has a rusher in his face.    Wilton's knowledge of the offense with a ton of young WR's is the reason he is playing over O'Korn and Peters.    It can be frustrating at times, but like it was said in the comments, In Jimmy we trust!
